I've got Haye to win in the 3rd round (after having a hugely vivid dream of that happening!) and a saver bet on Klitschko boring the pants off everyone and winning on points.
Come on David!

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Frederick Douglas

I quite like Lennox Lewis's idea on 5Live last night that Haye should steam out of corner and try to land one on Klitschko right form the off.

Shades of Lewis v. Golota sprang to mind, although admittedly Klitschko is twice the fighter that Golota was.

I to am convinced Haye will take this one, far to much speed and power for me. I have backed Haye at 17/10 to win.

I can see a slow start from Haye, similar to the start v Harrison. Just feel him out and take a good look at him early.

Golota wasn't bad when he actually wanted it, he was never mentally right.

Temptation, greets you like your naughty mate,
The one that used to get you in bother,
But one that you could never bring yourself to hate.

Not a betting man but that would be my thoughts as well.

Re: Boxing Round 2 : Sat Jul 02, 2011 11:58 am  
I don't think a lot can be drawn from the pre-fight build up tbh.
Klitschko doesn't need to talk up what he is going to do because most people believe he will win with ease. Haye on the other hand has a lot of convincing to do to many people.
I hope it doesn't come down to a close decision as neither fighter deserves to be remembered for a loss/an unjust decision. For the sake of a Haye v Vitali fight and also purely seeing as he's English, I hope Haye does the business. Either way it should be good.

Re: Boxing Round 2 : Sat Jul 02, 2011 12:26 pm  
If there is to be any creditability in the heavyweight division it has to be a Haye win tonight.

The Klitschko brothers have turned the division into a farce with their refusal to leave Germany to fight, and obviously unable to fight each other. Ok so Haye does some trash talking before a fight but he is no worse than the likes of Mayweather jr etc.

Bring those belts back David!

Why does Haye have so much to prove and Klitschko nothing? that's silly, look at the list of their last five fights and you tell me who's had the harder of the two then say Klitschko has nothing to prove. I must admit I've watched a lot of build up, a lot of talk over the last few years and I can't say I've seen anyone say Klitschko will win easy. He won't have took a punch as powerful as Haye can deliver so I don't think it'll be as cut and dried.

And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....

I don't think it will be easy for Klitschko, but logic does indicate that the Ukranian should win.....He has all the physical advantages and as the saying goes, '....a good big 'un will always beat a good little 'un...'

.....However, there are still serious doubts that Klitschko is a 'good 'un'....Yes, he is a big unit, who for the most part, in recent years, as made easy work of his opponents, but the level of those opponents have to be seriously questioned.

The one thing that Haye has to do is to pressure Klitschko into a zone which he has not encountered for years....He has to use his speed advantage and make his opponent 'chase' him and leave him open for the fight-finishing counter shot, which is Haye's only realistic chance of winning.

Overall, my head says Klitschko, either by a dour points win or by Haye walking onto one, but my patriotic heart says that Haye will KO Wlad late on as the big guy tires and his chin becomes more exposed to the counter.
